Practice.

Practice focusing on what you LIKE simply because it makes you feel BETTER!

Care about feeling good. Do this first thing in the morning. — Abraham-Hicks

Remember you get to choose. You get to focus on what you want. If you want peace, be more peaceful in your life. If you want people to act with kindness, then be kind. Don’t make exceptions for who you are kind to — be kind to everyone. (I didn’t say this would be easy. It will just make you happier!)

If you feel ornery and uncertain, practice thinking about those you do love and care about. Get into the vibration of appreciation and gratitude. Practice thinking loving & kind thoughts about them— that can help you carry over this new thought habit energy to others.

Be easy with yourself. Life is supposed to feel good, as Abraham says.

When you do get distracted about upsetting news, look at it as your prayer list, as Marianne Williamson, teacher of A Course in Miracles, often says. When you notice that the news makes you launch sometimes unspoken prayers of wishing things were better on this earth, bring your thoughts TO that prayer/wish/desire, then choose to concentrate on what is working.

Things are always working out, somehow, someway. There will always be good happening. You can even be a part of making things better if you feel guided to participate in a larger way. Your actions, your thoughts, contribute to the wealth of good energy on this planet.

Remember, “You were born with Well-Being flowing to you and through you.” as Abraham-Hicks teaches.

Be the change you wish to see. Be peace. Be love. Be kind. Embody joy.
